Odds via BetMGM as of Sunday, May 5.

Team	Odds Entering Playoffs	Current Odds
Celtics	+160	+125
Nuggets	+300	+400
Thunder	+1600	+800
T-Wolves	+2000	+800
Mavericks	+1600	+900
Knicks	+4000	+1000
Cavaliers	+5000	+5000
Pacers	+10000	+5000

The Nuggets were +240 to win the title before dropping Game 1 of Round 2 to the Minnesota Timberwolves, 106-99, on Saturday. Their odds fell to +400 now that they’re in a 1-0 hole. Minnesota’s odds to win the title are still double the Nuggets, though, at +800.

The Knicks and Pacers face off in a throwback to their classic playoff battles of the ‘90s. While one team is guaranteed to move on, they’ll still be long shots to win it all. In fact, outside the Celtics who are the odds-on favorites, all four remaining Western Conference teams are favored over the other three remaining teams in the East.
